SECTION 2

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

OVERVIEW The PartnerEmpower Program is structured to enable Motorola Solutions to successfully team with a wide array of channel partners in delivering innovative, market-leading solutions to our mutual customers. Through the Program, we meet the unique needs of different business models and reward channel partners for investing in the expertise critical to serving customer needs. Resellers ascend through the Program’s three levels as they develop and demonstrate their expertise and in turn, earn access to an increasingly greater set of Program Benefits.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE FOR RESELLERS SALES COMMUNITY

The PartnerEmpower Program’s sales community encompasses two channel partner types that play a distinct role in delivering our products and services to customers. We reward each channel partner type’s unique contribution through a set of distinct Program Benefits.

Reseller: A channel partner that buys products, software or solutions from a Motorola Solutions Distributor, or, in some cases, directly from Motorola Solutions, and resells them to a customer; may integrate products and services into a solution and enhance the solution with professional services or third party applications (“Reseller”).

Distributor: A channel partner that sells products and services primarily to Resellers and provides sales and technology support, training, order fulfillment, stocking inventory, Reseller financing, deep technology expertise and more (“Distributor”).

This Program Guide summarizes the structure of the PartnerEmpower Program for Resellers. A high-level overview of key Program documents for both our Direct Purchase Resellers and Resellers is laid out in Appendix E (Direct Purchase Resellers) and Appendix F (Resellers).

DRAFT


TECHNOLOGY SEGMENTS

Motorola Solutions products, software and services that are included in the PartnerEmpower Program have been categorized into groups representing related products, software and services within the Motorola Solutions product portfolio, known under the Program as “Technology Segments.” Participation in the PartnerEmpower Program is granted by Technology Segment. Each Technology Segment has sub-segments of particular product groups, some of which are subject to additional access and training requirements (“Technology Sub-Segments”). The PartnerEmpower Program in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) has six Technology Segments: Professional and Commercial Radio (PCR), TETRA, P25, Software and Solutions, Vertex Standard and Business & Consumer Radio (Unlicensed Radio). Resellers must participate in at least one Technology Segment and may participate in multiple segments. To participate in a segment, Resellers must apply for participation in that segment. Information about the products that fall under the Technology Segments can be found in the table below:

PRODUCT ACCESS

Access to Motorola Solutions products depends on participation in the appropriate Technology Segment or Technology Sub-Segment and a particular product’s access classification. With an extensive range of products available, Motorola Solutions has categorized its technically complex products as “Restricted.” Access to Restricted products requires specific technical capabilities that are detailed in the Product Access and Required Accreditation document found in Appendix C – Product Access and Specialization Table.

PROGRAM LEVELS

Motorola Solutions recognizes Resellers for the success of their Motorola Solutions relationship through four PartnerEmpower Program Levels—Registered, Silver, Gold and Platinum (“Program Levels”). A Reseller enters the Program as a Registered Reseller in their allocated Zone and advances to Silver, Gold and then Platinum based on the Reseller’s total combined revenue across all the Technology Segments in which the Reseller participates. There is no minimum revenue threshold requirement for becoming a Motorola Solutions Registered Reseller. The Reseller may join the Program and then advance through the Program Levels when it meets the minimum revenue threshold for its Zone.

Reseller has met the highest revenue threshold in the PartnerEmpower Program

Reseller has met the second revenue threshold in the PartnerEmpower Program

Reseller has met the first revenue threshold in the PartnerEmpower Program

Entry level into PartnerEmpower Program – participating in at least one Technology Segment

DRAFT


ZONES

Resellers are assigned to a Zone based on the country of their business location as specified in their PartnerEmpower application. Each Zone has revenue thresholds for Silver, Gold and Platinum Program Levels that a Reseller is required to meet in order to move up through the Program Levels. These Zone thresholds are set out below. Motorola Solutions reserves the right to change threshold levels from time to time on sixty (60) days written notice. A full list of Zones can be found in Appendix B.

DRAFT


SPECIALIZATION

Specialization enables Resellers to gain greater market differentiation by demonstrating a significant level of competency and success in a particular Technology Segment. Although achieving Specialization is not a Program requirement, the PartnerEmpower Program provides a mechanism to support the development of Reseller expertise, providing technology specialization levels, training and channel identifiers to Resellers who invest in the competency of their employees. Resellers can progress through three levels of technology specialization by meeting the specified requirements. The requirements for technology specialization in each Technology Segment or Technology Sub-Segment can be found in Appendix C – Product Access and Specialization Table. The training and/or business requirements are specific to each Technology Segment and Technology Sub-Segment. The Technology Specialization level of a Reseller may change throughout the year, dependent on the number of training certifications achieved by the Reseller company. For more details, refer to Section 5 – Sales & Technical Competency. NOTE: Resellers with a Registered Program Level are not eligible for a Technology Specialization. Technology Specialization is only available to Resellers with a Silver, Gold or Platinum Program Level.

Reseller has achieved advanced product training or met the specialization requirements for specified Technology Segment (or Technology Sub-Segment)

Reseller has sold Motorola Solutions products and has access to Motorola Solutions sales and product training.

Reseller has completed product training or met the specialization requirements for specified Technology Segment (or Technology Sub-Segment)

If you believe your company is eligible for promotion prior to the APR, please contact your Channel Account Manager (“CAM”) or the Motorola Solutions partner support team.

SECTION 5

SALES & TECHNICAL COMPETENCY

BUILDING EXPERTISE Channel competency is a core component of the architecture of the PartnerEmpower Program and a key market differentiator for any Reseller. Motorola Solutions offers a comprehensive curriculum featuring a broad array of training courses, along with a certification program that validates the expertise of individual team members in specific Technology Segments and Technology Sub-Segments. The certification framework is structured to enable students to build upon and strengthen their knowledge. As a PartnerEmpower Program member, you have access to Motorola Solutions’ many sales and technical certifications to ensure you can meet the needs of today’s customers and achieve a Technology Specialization level in recognition of that investment. Certifications include optional courses and required exams. The majority of online courses are available at no charge and take approximately one hour to complete. Experienced individuals can skip most online training courses and move directly to the exams, which will speed up the certification process. To register for certification, visit “My Learning Dashboard,” an online tool that makes it easy to browse courses, register for certification and track certification progress. You can access My Learning Dashboard from Partner Central (via the empowering tools box on the home page) without logging in again. Please note that charges may apply to certification and training courses. Students begin with the first step, portfolio certification, and then move on to the two levels of Sales and Technical Certification (“Associate” and “Professional,” as defined in the table below). Completion of the sales and technical certifications satisfy the product access specialization requirements as detailed in the Required Accreditation document found in Appendix C – Product Access and Specialization Table. PORTFOLIO CERTIFICATION Portfolio Certification validates knowledge of the product portfolio in a specific Technology Segment, ensuring that your team understands the full set of products in the portfolio and possesses basic product knowledge critical to sales success. This certification is a pre-requisite to move on to the Associate-level sales and technical certification.

http://partners.motorolasolutions.com/


Please Note: Achievement of certification is associated with an individual team member, not the Reseller company. If the individual who has completed the certification leaves your company, you have three (3) months to organize for another individual to complete the certification to maintain your product access or Technology Specialization status. If the certification for an individual expires, the individual has one month in which to re-certify. The Technology Specialization level of a Reseller may change throughout the year, dependent on the number of training certifications completed by individuals within the company.

OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES In addition to the training associated with certification, Motorola Solutions offers a wide variety of training courses designed to build channel partner sales and technical competency. All channel partner personnel are encouraged to take advantage of these offerings. Training offerings include:

• Technology overview courses • Vertical market overview courses • Sales skills development courses

All courses are available via My Learning Dashboard. New courses are added on an ongoing basis. For further guidance, please see the Training Operational Guide, which will be available in January 2017.
